| | within the seven NH Early Learning Guidelines will help to prepare our students for the more in depth curriculum expectations, based on the NH K-12 Curriculum Frameworks, we have for children 3 and up.
Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten Curriculum
A Place to Grow uses a theme-based curriculum, which changes monthly, to guide the daily activities throughout the center. A set of words are chosen each month which correspond to the monthly theme that children will learn in American Sign Language, French, and Spanish.
Curriculum includes science, math, language arts, social studies, arts and music, and physical education. Learning will be accomplished through many mediums, including play, art, music, stories, and directed learning opportunities.
Our phonics and reading program uses Starfall as the basis of the program. We have chosen this method because it meets most of our education needs as a center is engaging and readily available free of charge to all families via the internet. This method allows us to bring technology into the classroom. Click here to go to Starfall.com for more information.
Our teachers adapt the curriculum accordingly to meet the needs of the children in their care.

Handwriting Without Tears
We have been using Handwriting without Tears for several years in preschool, Pre-K, and K. This is an engaging multi-sensory approach to teaching body awareness, letter recognition, directionality, handwriting, and so much more. The kids love it and we hope you do to!
